Looks like a grand jury will soon hand down additional charges against former Jim Graham staffer Ted Loza, D.C. Wire reports. Loza was indicted on bribery charges last fall after he allegedly accepted $1,500 in cash and other favors and trips from a taxicab lobbyist. No word yet on what the new charges might look like, just that we should expect them in the “next two to four weeks.”
Notably, Loza’s attorney, Pleasant Brodnax, is looking out for the Ward 1 D.C. Council member’s interests as well as his client’s: he told prosecutors he’d like to avoid scheduling a trial close to the Sept. primary elections.
